IM Raceday 2AM Drink & Breakfast

Georgey

Any suggestions on what works for the 2am 'drink' and IM race day breakfast?  

I'm always fine during race rehearsals no matter what I eat but my stomach is always a wreck on race day... thinking that the 2am drink might done the trick but I'm not sure what to drink to get those calories.

I drank a big bottle of Powerbar RECOVERY! As I was very used to it and it contains some Proteins not just carbs.
Applesauce breakfast is also a great choice!

I use Ensure x 2.

I am using the Core Diet race fueling plan which has the applesauce breakfast.  I don't have to get up at 2 AM (I could never go back to sleep when I did that) and I start my fueling at 4:00 or so.  Have been using this plan since 2012 for full and half distance and while I don't enjoy taking in 5 cups of applesauce (and a banana, and a bottle of perform and a scoop of protein powder) I have never had gut issues.  YMMV.
